Former AIADMK MLA and party organising secretary N. Murugumaran has resigned from the AIADMK and joined the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK).
Murugumaran, who hails from Kattumannarkoil in Cuddalore district, announced his resignation from the party’s primary membership and all other responsibilities on Sunday. In his letter to AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami, he expressed dissatisfaction over being denied the opportunity to contest from Kattumannarkoil in the 2026 Assembly election.
Murugumaran subsequently met TVK general secretary N. Anand in Dharapuram and joined the party. He had been serving as an AIADMK organising secretary.
Murugumaran joined the AIADMK in 1993 and represented the Kattumannarkoil Assembly constituency in 2011 and 2016. In the 2026 Assembly election, he contested from the reserved Tittakudi constituency and finished third.
